Director steps down at Hampson Industries
Hampson Industries' finance director Howard Kimberley has announced he will step down after ten years at the company.
The Brierley Hill-based aerospace group has appointed Ram Swamy as his replacement.
Hampson Industries, which employs 1,400 staff across three continents, said Kimberley would continue to work with the company as a consultant for a short period.
Swamy has 21 years' experience in financial positions within the life sciences and marketing sectors.
Most recently, he was chief financial officer on the board of Goldshield Group, a global pharmaceutical and consumer health business.
Chairman Chris Geoghegan said: "I would like to thank Howard for his dedicated service as Finance Director of the group over the past ten years. Through a number of strategic acquisitions he has been instrumental in the transformation of Hampson into a focused, international aerospace group with two global leadership positions. Howard leaves Hampson with the best wishes of the board."
